It's been almost 2 months...lets go over the pros and cons of this bitch now.

Pro: I have a job.Con: It was supposed to be about 2 days a week. It's really 38 hours a week.Pro: I was ok about being hourly and having no benefits because it was supposed to be 2 days a week.Con: It was supposed to be about 2 days a week. It's really 38 hours a week.Pro: Really? I'm just supporting the project managers, I have no TRUE responsibilities???? SWEET!Con: Oh, really? I'm basically acting like a project manager with no benefits, paid vacation or time off because I'm only part time, working 38 hours a week. I see.Pro: If I decide that I truly need to walk away, I think I can, and I will.

You get hit on by an embalmer. I'm not kidding. A PROFESSIONAL EMBALMER. An 80 year old PROFESSIONAL EMBALMER.Yes, that happened tonight. It's a sign. This is a sign that things are looking up kids.I even got his card.

So, if your family members are dropping dead or if you've got that last grandpa, you know the one...just BARELY hanging on, let me know, I'll hook you up with Cliff. He negotiates with the funeral homes for you. If you call them direct, you're screwed.

It was Sebastian!!! He broughta truck!!! But Max guessed a train, again, Why does Max always guess a train?Me: well, because Max likes trains, I suppose (Max has a slight A.D.D. problem, and has a bit of trouble playing with other kids)Dean: Why does Max like trains so much?Me: I don't know, why not, why do you like Donkey Kong so much?Dean: Because it's FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Me: sighDean: Mommy, when am I child of the day again?Me: I'm not sure,,,April? May?? Why? Do you know what you want to bring?Dean: I want to bring a Choo Choo.Me: A Choo Choo? Do you mean one of your trains?Dean: Yes, so that when Max guesses this time, he will be right.

Below are two sentences. Please select (by commenting, this working girl is too tired to actually develop a poll) on which one is the CORRECT sentence.

A). The schedule to view the mock-ups are below.

B). The schedule to view the mock-ups is below.

No cheating now...and Tonja, I'm not sure if I can even allow you to play. Michelle, you and Tonja will cancel each other out, Mrs. Kmarts.

Anyhow, the point of this story is that I had to convince 3 of my new co workers that I was right, and they were wrong. And they still went with the wrong answer because it sounded right. On a poster that will be placed all over a major corporation.

Ok, so I finally have a job....well, that is if I pass the background check and drug test. And being that my time as a stay at home mom hasn't left me much of a window into Charlie Sheen's Korner, I think I'm good on all of that.

Do I want to go back to work? Surprisingly, part of me says no. It's a great company, the one I wanted to get in with, but it's only part time to start out, and there are no guarantees that it will become full time, and, well, I will miss Dean.

The other part of me says something like OH MY GOD WOMAN, WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU? THIS IS WHERE YOU WANTED TO BE, EVEN IF IT IS NOT ENTIRELY IDEAL, GET BACK TO WORK BEFORE YOU LOSE ALL TOUCH WITH THE WORKING WORLD FOR CHRISTS SAKE AND THEN NO ONE WILL EVER HIRE YOU (yes, I do yell it in my head like that. You'd be impressed at the voices in my head actually)

Dean and I were sitting in the car tonight, waiting for Chris, who had some last minute primping to do (his real name is Christina, shhh, don't tell anyone). Our conversation was magical and ridiculous, like it always is, and I was thankful that for once, it didn't evolve around Donkey Kong or the damn Wii.

Dean: I like to move it, move it, I like to move it move it... (out of no where)Me: Oh, you remember that movie? (cue Madagascar)Dean: Yeah, why does he like to move it, move it?Me: well, uh...I don't know, it's just a song from a movie, he likes to dance. (and then I start singing) I like to move it move it, I like to move it move it.

And then I turn on the radio, and uh, that song is playing, like right there and then.
